Try one of these. It’s pretty darn effective and it’s especially good at getting up leaves in the fall. You need to find just the right setting to where it just flicks the debris up into the basket. If you set it too deeply it will just get bogged down in the grass; too lightly and it won’t pick...
Several things:
(1) I wouldn’t go overboard on the gutter/piping idea. The watershed from the condos to the pond appears to be clear. Water coming into a watershed will find its way to the pond whether you pipe it or not. The only thing that will prevent that is if the terrain has been...
As I mentioned earlier, check out the Husqvarna Poweraxe 350i electric. It has a big honcho battery, and it never fails to start if your battery is charged. It cares not whether gasoline has ethanol in it or not. It runs smoothly and with an 18” bar it will handle almost anything you will need...
I never thought I’d do it, but after owning several Husqvarna gas chainsaws I made the move to the Husqvarna Poweraxe 350i electric. Bought it at Lowes. I have a ranch in the Texas Hill Country and there’s always lots of chainsaw work needed. I also got an extra battery to go with it (battery...
Thanks. Most of my implements are cat 1 but I do have a few that are cat 2. I’ve been able to get away with a cat 1 top link with a bushing inserted in the top link insert in the tool.
Last year I purchased a Husqvarna battery powered PowerAxe chainsaw on the recommendation of a friend. I had had two gas powered Husqvarna chainsaws that had become very obstinate when it comes to starting. I was remarkably impressed. The battery lasted half a day and I gave out before it did...
John Deere 5320. I’ve been threatening to get a hydraulic top link for many years but never think about it unless I’m turning and turning the existing manual link. I want to know which links you all favor and which ones you think are junk, as I only want to do this once (well, twice since I have...
While we’re on the PTO-implement subject, my standard practice when I remove an implement from the PTO shaft is to elevate it off the ground by using a loop of chain. This keeps the insides of the shaft from getting dirt and corrosion in it while it is sitting, as that dirt, etc. makes hookup...
Glad you seem to have gotten it fixed. I also have a 5320 and my approach in such a situation would be to first suspect the battery, and if that checks out then the cables. To check them I simply take a pair of jumper cables and go directly from the battery to the positive connection on the...
Keep in mind that you will always, always, always incur unexpected expenses. Things never go as you would expect. Unless your wife is solidly behind ALL of this the financial strain will likely cause a strain on your marriage.(ask me how I know!). And, it’s not just the money, but the time...
